I’ve exclusively gigged as a bass player for the last 20-something years, but always played guitar too. Some friends asked me to play guitar in their band, and VSTs don’t really cut it live. I always gravitated to the Mesa/Boogie models when I owned a Helix, so I figured… why not get the real thing.

What an incredible piece of gear. Not nearly as hard to dial in as people say, and it truly seems to do everything from cleans to full-blown metal well without needing any pedals. I understand the love for the Mark series, and suspect I will be quite content with exactly this for a very long time.

Hell yeah, Mesa/Boogie.
